Planning? That's a fairly strong term for this event.
During breakfast, Wade checked on the location of today's geohash. It seemed to be in the water, but surprisingly reachable for the Vancouver graticule. Unfortunately, Wade had to work today, so it wasn't likely to happen.
By an astounding coincidence, Xore happens to work in the same company as Wade. Around 6:30, Xore wandered past Wade's desk, and Wade asked him if he knew that today's hash is reachable and in his area of town.
Xore asked "Are you serious about going tonight?"
Wade wasn't. He was actually just suggesting that Xore might want to go. He didn't want to kayak or swim in a glacier-fed lake in May. Wade's more into comfortable geohashes. But before vocalizing that, he realized it sounded kind of lame. So he replied, "Um, maybe. I thought you'd be interested."
Xore then commented that it was so close to shore that we could probably walk out into the water and reach the geohash. He got on the phone with Rhonda, and insisted on using the term "Wade to the geohash" as often as possible. Eventually Rhonda was convinced to participate in this event.
Before Wade quite knew what he had set in motion, the plans were made. Xore was going to catch Seabus home, and Wade was going to ride home, get ready, and head over meet Xore and Rhonda, where we'd all ride Rhonda's new and improve Hashmobile as close as possible to the point, and kayak or Wade to the point.
